Hey there..
Have you had a trial of buprenorphine, or of another opioid that is sometimes used for treatment-resistant depression (such as tramadol)?
I would definitely give that a try before venturing into ECT. Of course, in some cases this may not be a viable option, for example if you have a history of opioid abuse or addiction.
I do hesitate to recommend this because taking an opioid for depression is a somewhat risky endeavor. However, unsuccessful treatment of TRD is very dangerous as well, so at some point one may have to weigh those options against each other.
